The liquor manufacturers furnish
practical rsfutation of the Claim OF
the prohibitionists that high license
will not decrease the amount of liq Tor
drank, although it decrease the num.
Der Of saloons. They claim that the
business Of those who l'ay thelicense,
and those who sell in defiance of the
law will equal that under low license.
At meeting ofsths Columbia asso-
citation of liquor dealers held in st.
Paul on Tuesday. to take such action
a. might defeat the bill if possible,
it was declared as, an argument
against the bill that brewers would
suffer heavy losses by a decrease of
business, and many would be driven
out OF business altogether. They
evidently believe that high license
will dec, ease consumption very ma
terially. And there can be no ques.
ton but their fears are well -ground

THE MUNICIPAL COURT BILL.

Messrs. Barto, Petit and Kells
were in st. Paul on Thursday last tor
the purpose of presenting to the leg
islature the two bills in which West
ern Stearns are deeply interested.
viz: The municipal court bill and
the bill providing for submitting to
q vote the matter Of dividing
Stearns County. 1t was found that
there was strong opposition to the
municipal court bill by st. Cloud
parties. and Mr.. Freeman the st.
Cloud member, was strenously
against its passage. The bill provid-
ed for jurisdiction to the amount Of
$1,000, and embraced the entire coun-
ty. st. Cloud attorneys would not
consent to any measure which might
compel them to come to Sank Centre
to defend any action which might be
brought in this court. TheIe were
other objections, but this one seemed
most obnoxious. A meeting was ar.
ranged for Saturday at st. Cloud, aud
Messrs. Foster and Gates were tele.
Rraphed for by Gov. Barto. and the
whole matter was canvassed by the
bar Of the two towns. Tho result
was bill to give Sank Centre two
adjourned jury terms Of the District
court here every year. and in addi.
tion st. Cloud to make no opposition to
the division bill passing tho legisla.
ture. although some Of them openly
declared that they would fight the
division scheme at the polls. This
compromise was accepted of necessi.
ty, as no other relief could be secured.
While tits not at all adequate or sat.
isfactory to our people generally, YET
1t is a concession that will be Of con.
siderable advantage in the matter Of
saving our attorneys and li:igants
money and time. So. il
Gov. Barto went to st. Paul by ap-
pointment on Tuesday, to confe,
with Judge Collins and others rela
tive to making the compromise effec
tive by legislative enactment.
This action but emphasizes the
desire and the necessity for the di.
vision of this unwieldy county, the
seat Of which Is fifty miles distant.

THE INTERSTATE BILL.

The interstate commerce bill con-
tains many excellent provisions for
the regulation of freight rates over
lines Of railroad which lie in part in
two or more states, in which case
state law Is, Of course. powerless. A
clause which provides that not more
shall be- charged for a short haul
titan for longer one seems to be
not only ambiguous, but the occas-
ion Of the greatest hostility. If it
mean that not more shall be charged
for hauling one hundred miles than
for any longer distance, 1t will work
an injustice to the railroads, for ow.
ing to heavy grads, or other lnevita.
BILE difficulties, it may cost much
more to haul car a given distance
than it would to haul it double that
distance over another portion of the
road. But il it means that not more
shall be charged for hauling it a
short distance which is contained in
and part Of the longer distance, it
is clearly right. 1t is an outrage one
has not far to 60 to find exempllfed.
For instance, the rate given from
Minneapolis to Alexandria on car.
load in enc notable instance was
nearly twenty dollars less than was
exacted for the same car Of goods
shipped to Sank Centre. The out
rage was attributable to the fact that
freights to Sank Centre are fixed by a
pooling contract between the two
roads, while at Alexandria there is
but one road. The bill also provides
that roads shall not pool, but it will
not require any vast amount of saga.
city to svade this provision. What
the result Of such law will be re.
mains to DE seen, but at present there
is an honest difference of opinion rs
to its effects, some claiming that
through freights will be raised to a.
par with way, while others claim
way freights will be reduced to
through rates. The bill provides
against discrimination between ship
pers, which is clearly provision
which ought to be enacted. ..
